Transforming Landscapes Into Paradise – Kiamesha Ponds Shows Us Two Stunning Koi Ponds in Lakewood

Wow, guys. Check out this beautiful job done by the one and only Michael from Kamisha Ponds. Michael, it's unbelievable to see a difference from last year when you just finished the job. It wasn't I I never saw such such nice >> the landscaping wasn't done. When we go to the back, you're going to see unbelievable difference as well. >> So, Michael, explain us what >> we got going on over here is we have a pond that as you can see this is beautiful the entire year. This is not like a pool that if you're lucky your kids go for two months into the water. Here it's looks beautiful the entire year. What we have over here >> is also open in the winter. >> Absolutely. We run everything that I design I designed to run for the entire winter. Again, unless there's an exception, but as a general rule, everything is able to run for the winter. What we have over here, a lot of people don't realize when you you go to a lake, you see just a couple of lily pads, you think frogs, but you don't realize there are so many different varieties. Look at this gorgeous violet colored lily in the middle. We have a a pink one over there. A darker pink over there. There's a white one over here. >> Give them some food. I want to see if they should come up. >> Let's see if we get them to come back up. >> Throw in some food. They're going coming. All going to be coming up. There you go. Oh, we Wow. What are these fish? Goldfish? Koish? >> The big ones are koi. The small one are goldfish. Small ones. >> Beautiful. >> And we have all different kinds of plants over here. This is what's called a cardinal flower. This is actually a banana tree. >> Banana tree. >> Real banana. It's not going to grow bananas here, but it's a banana tree. That's an elephant ear. The red ones are what's called canal. This is an elephant ear. The purple one. >> Oh, wow. It looks like a looks like like an elephant ear. >> Yeah. >> What's this? The flowers over there. The red flowers. >> The red flowers are what's called a canaly. >> Canaly. >> This is a sweet potato vine. We can talk all day. More than can fit in this video. >> Potato vine. That's cool. >> And obviously, as in most really nice koi ponds, you have the beautiful red maple right next to it. >> Wow, this is beautiful. So I guess people passing by they love it huh people stop by all the time day night I can come here passing afteras there'll be f like families that are here from wherever they're from for also foras looking at it at night it's >> you know I'm most amazed is it's not talking about a big huge acre property at Tom Jackson talk about a duplex property in Lakewood and look what they can do just with a small little property what's I think is more impressive is what we're able to do to the backyard because you can take a pity little space and change it like you're in a whole different world, like you're on vacation. But let's take a look here. Again, we have another different type of beautiful red maple over here. So, you take care of everything from A through Z, from the landscaping to the to the ponds to the waterfalls. Basically, when you walk outside your house, we can take care of it. This is our main thing, but we can do more than that, too. >> Wow. Wow. Look at these colors. >> This this pond has almost exclusively coin in it. There is one what's called a diamond back sturgeon which he eventually will outgrow this pond but we have other customers with bigger ponds and we'll just send them off to there. We also have tiny little what they're called rosy red minnows here. And again same thing this runs >> there's a pity pity fish over there. >> Those are called rosy red minnows. Um they're actually amazing at eating mosquitoes. If you like live in my types of places a lot of places will actually give you them for free but black versions of them so you won't see them here. They're colorful so you get to see them. Wow. Look at this stream. This little plant's called a chameleon plant because it has all different colors. Different times of year looks different. What's this uh plant called? What's this? That looks like >> So those are water hyasins. Um they're planted right now in the top of our filter. It's hiding the filter. And if you look at the difference in size of the ones in the water versus here. That's because it's it's literally eating the garbage out of the filter and they're just getting crazy big from that. Wow. Imagine having the suka over here, right over here, overlooking this beautiful pond and listening to the water. Next level. Fran, we don't just do ponds the size. We do small ponds. We do water fountains. We do um what's called a pondless waterfall. A lot of you didn't like that because you don't have to worry about kids. Water just disappears underground and it goes in a circle over the waterfall. You get the sound, you get the plants, you just don't get fish because the water disappears. >> I want to point out one other thing. We do make them also for swimming. I know it sounds crazy and it's not for everybody. It might be a little more expensive than a pool, but you can use it the entire year and swim whenever you feel it's not too cold for you. >> Yeah.
